You are just suffering from low IQ so you can't see what I am saying..keep supporting nonsense because you think it hurts Tinubu

Some Nigerians are dull fellows with low critical thinking ability and the crab mentality. They don't mind the house caving in with them as their perceived or imagined enemy is destroyed. I have never known you to be pro-Tinubu but see the way they are calling you names now because you disagree with them. We are just a pathetic people. Tomorrow they will call for solidarity when the shoe pinches them!

A political appointee is challenging a practicing economist

For the records ,please Emefiele is not a practicing economist. He has never been an Economist.

TemmyDayo50:
Pleasure boss. I proceeded to Mayflower secondary school to have my secondary.

Do you also have ties to Ikenne...??

Sure had some ties. Let me refer you to Schmidt Hall, then we can sing "Niggers all work on that Mississippi, Niggers all work while the white man plays, show me that stream call that River Jordan ....ol' man river that ol' man river ....."

@TemmyDayo50 can you relate with that song?

TemmyDayo50:
I remember a competition I went for as far back 1999 or so when I was still in primary school... I represented my school Grace nursery and primary school, Ikenne and the prize then was this lamp.. So many beautiful memories it's bringing...

Nice to see you here representing that ancient city.

U take life too hard over unimportant internet petty gist.........roasting is a normal parole.... besides i dont see u when women roast men here..... u do woman wrapper too much.... tuehh!!

Young people who are in their formative years use this forum and if you think roasting of women is normal in the sight of these youngsters who pick their cues for acceptable codes of behaviours from places like this, I do not think so. I chanced in on this topic as I barely have the time for these shenanigans, so I will equally find it deplorable if any lady makes sweeping statements about men.

I just wonder about men who go about maligning women, is it that these guys are from motherless babies home? Like what the hell! For Pete's sake there are terrible people from each gender so need stereotyping on the basis of gender.

Midastorch:
FACT!!!! You went to someone's house they served you what they have and you have the temerity to snap it and post it online? If the girl is on nairaland and she is seeing this nonsense, I beg her in the name of God to leave the OP!!!! He's a stupid and an ungrateful bastard in waiting.... These GenZ generation no get sense at all.. Most of them sha

I hate to make generalized statements but honestly this GenZ generation's attitude leaves much to be desired. Someone old enough to be his mum served him food for free and the only way he could reciprocate that kind gesture is to come here and post the picture of what he was freely given. Utterly disgraceful behaviour!

nepapole:
Only GOD gives sound health.

For Some of you here mocking some who have been unlucky to age well, I hope and pray your situation is better than those you mock when your time comes.

There certain things in life we have no control over.

Obj my guy!

Very sensible comment. I wish some of them would listen to your words of wisdom. Attempting to mock the assumed or real disability of someone is unafrican. How many people here can tell how they will turn out in the next one year not to talk of next 10 years.

Hizzojay:
I knew it will come to this. I was equaling discussing with someone, sometime back, about this scenario of this man pleading “not guilty”. And of cos, he is not guilty of “murder”.

The State Attorney is very stupid for charging him with only one charge; “murder”. Which obviously the accuse will win this case against him. “Murder” wasn’t the best charge that would have been charged against him, but, “Manslaughter”.

“Murder” are always argued to have been premeditated before it was actualized. The prosecution won’t be able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accuse planned the crime before he actioned it out on the poor lady.

Nigerian judiciary are just some useless sets of idiots. His lawyer obviously saw the loophole and requested he pleaded “not guilty” cos he knew he’ll be able to defend him.

The preferred allegations would have been “1st degree, 2nd degree and perhaps 3rd degree Manslaughter”. This, he wouldn’t have been able to plead “not guilty” to.

The prosecution is very much in order by charging him for murder. What they have done is to aim at the sky and whatever happens they are sure of landing on the tree. So they went for the crime with the greatest penalty knowing fully well that the least judgement they will get is manslaughter. Lagos State Government has actually won a lot of cases like this. Other state governments are not as active as LASG on issues like this and I wonder why.

It is good that this guy is being prosecuted. However, I must commend the LASG for prosecuting this guy. I am aware that the State Governments have great roles to play in circumstances like these and this is not the first that the LASG has done this, at least from my observation.

One wonders why other State Governments act as though they are helpless when such unfortunate incidences occur in their domains.

jeffoe:
while I doubt the authenticity of the story. we do have a porous boarder system. he could sneak in through one of our land borders. the dss do not have to arrest him before they can file charges if they have any evidence against him. I do not understand the reason behind the media trial

No one can accuse the DSS in this case of any media trial. As a matter of fact, the DSS spokesperson has not spoken much about the case at all. It is the newspapers and the people supporting the CBN Governor that have been in the News most of the times.

I just hope that justice prevails, if Emefiele committed any crime let him face the law and if he is innocent, may God protect him.

wethebest:
What the Bleep is wrong with Nigerians sef. U japa or not japa, if u re not productive, u will remain useless nd poor for life no matter ur location. Even in the US, UK,, Canada e.t.c. We have many jobless, poor and homeless people there. Why always painting ur country black in every given opportunity? U free to japa or stay but jst shut d Bleep up. Nobody is forcing u to leave or stay. Allow to that choose to stay have peace.

That part of your post in emphasis (emphasis mine) is the key that people need to unlock their productivity.

There are benefits and disadvantages associated with most stuffs and same is applicable to 'japaing' or 'not japaing'.

Some people who make their money from remote jobs earning forex may not be keen to 'japa' because it is beautiful to earn in $ dollars and spend in Naira.

Some others have thriving businesses that have grown big enough so much so that going start all over abroad may not make much sense to them. For example, there are people who send their kids money from Nigeria to America or UK for upkeeps. At least, I had a boss who did that until the son graduated and I know of a few people who still do that.

For some other people, the idea of moving to a much more functional society makes sense to them.

The motivating factors for individuals differ. Individuals should figure out what works for them.

But like you said, people should learn to be productive wherever they are: whether home or abroad.

You will find many people on this forum wasting their time posting scores of nonsense posts daily, when they could have figured out how to be more useful to themselves and their society.

So when folks spend all day on different social media fora discussing what nots, how are they suppose to make money? Well, except if they spend that time for content creation or any other online money making venture then it may make some sense.

Emu4life:
If Saraki can be Senator, Oshiomole can.

Saraki became senate president in his second time as a senator (from 2015-2019) he was in the Senate from (2011 to 2015) as a floor member. As a first time senator, Oshiomole would not be able to serve as the Senate president, he will only be eligible by 2027 and that is if he remains in the Senate.

The replies to this original post are sickening and they betray the oppressive tendencies of many Nigerians. Now, I understand that an average Nigerian only complains about oppression if he or she is not one of the oppressors!

Harry deciding to leave his royal duties was a personal decision and why folks are pained about that decision is mind-numbing. His decision to speak up should never be queried as he is a free man who inherited the free spirit of the mum.

ednut1:
you no spend money like that when compared to him wey don pay expensive school fees.

True that. But one or 2 of my colleagues stayed back. Essentially, individual circumstances and personal goals too play a role in such instances. There are no hard and fast rules.

ednut1:
There were notices by most businesses that they would be closed. Everyone one deserves to spend holiday at home with family and loved ones unlike in Nigeria. What you should have done is team up with fellow Nigerians organize food and shayo and have fun. I can bet my hand say you will not return to Nigeria after your studies.

Bros don't bet your hand because you might just lose it, if the guy was like me. I had a fellowship with the American government and I was on a J-1 as a Government visitor. Once, my fellowship ended I got on United Airline back to Naija. People are wired differently.

kollinz1234:
We all just want a better country; irrespective of the results of the election, there is no winner or looser among the masses. A good leader favors us all and a bad one troubles us all.

That is it. Kudos.

Samunique:
Try read my post once again, I didn't ask anybody who wish to not to Japan, but they should stop destroying their homes from outside, so that when jungle is matured they'll have where to run to.

Look at what happened in Ukraine, was anybody expecting it ?

Anything can happen at anytime, no place like home bro !!!

Your statement in bold fonts refers. No need to educate them on that, let them continue to do that. When the consequences come, they will realize their folly.

By the Grace of God, some of us have traveled and are still traveling without throwing mud at our home country.

People can travel without mudslinging their country of birth. Nigerian leaders haven't particularly done well but have the citizens been better behaved?

If you have any relative schooling in the UK now ask them how Nigerians are misbehaving right now. My young cousin was telling me how some Nigerians who just got to the UK made a care agency to lose its clients because some Nigerians would go to care homes with Alcohol for the night. No sense of professionalism.

Jokerman:
Lol...

Is this to scare the potential teaching applicants?

I don't think it is written to scare the potential applicants; rather I think it is to help them prepare their minds for cultural shocks which are expected part of cross-cultural experiences.

Angelfrost:
Calm down with this tired line abeg...!

Don't act like people don't pay bills in Naija!

You are on point, but folks shouldn't make it look like everyone is suffering in Nigeria too. I know a number of friends who, for one reason or the other, have elected to stay back in Nigeria inspite of the fact that they do travel for business and visits from time to time.

tabaralph:
Immediately SHINA peller the son of late professor peller that owns Quilox left apc few months back I know something like this will happened

This is not entirely true. Even while Shina was in APC, Quilox has been sanctioned in the past a number of times so this is not about any political witch-hunt. This is a routine action when residents complain and the club will still be opened. This is quite unlike the situation where the Government goes to demolish citizens' buildings indiscriminately.

Denko2721987:
You are right but she still needs that therapy

Laughing out loud @ she must go for the therapy.

Denko2721987:
Madam go and seek therapy so you can heal from your male inflicted trauma. This na Christmas and a few days to entering new year so na advice I they advice you so. The bitterness u spew towards men shows u need that therapy so don't take it personal darling okay

You can't single her out for counseling while leaving out the men that bash women for a living. Even as a man, I get pissed at the way some males here bash women through their hasty generalizations. Every man has a mum and every woman has a dad, so we should not encourage male or female bashing.

This is laudable on all levels. One, I am happy that the monitoring was developed by Nigerian youths. Two, it is a good thing that citizens can now participate directly in the monitoring of project execution through the use of technology.

Vos1:
you're an idiot

That guy you quoted is a very idiotic and mad fellow. They are talking about the avoidable death of two young ladies and all the idiot could do was to bring in his stupid politics.

OriOko88:

See as thread dry. No single post of anybody in Qatar. Chaii. Poverty has really showed us shege. Even when we qualified to russia 2018,the Nigerians who travelled to see d eagle no reach 500. I'm very sure those oyinbos behind d OP came there for sight seeing,their countries may not qualify.

Poverty has become part and parcel of us. Very dry thread. Many nairalanders are hustlers. Very few middle class amongst us

You would be shocked at the true number of the Nairalanders there but most people have learnt to be more circumspect and they enjoy staying incognito. The times are perilous and these aren't good times to begin showing indiscriminate pictures of flexing on the internet or social media. If them 'packee' them family member for Naija who go follow pay ransom? Discretion is the better part of valour.

Nirvana101:
Don't be deceived with nonsense like; don't make excuses, the government can't help everybody bla bla bla. Forget it. Nigerians are extremely hard working people. Enable the environment with constant power, roads, and other pro development policies and see this country grow.

Yes government has a role to play but the citizens too need to play their roles. Nigeria has not always been bad at least. So what happened, when Nigeria was good? When there was free education up to the University level? Well, what happened was that Nigerians started gaming the system. They started giving birth with reckless abandon believing that Nigerian government will always provide and cater for the children.

I'm where I am today because I don't make or give excuses but you see Nigerian government? bunch of comedians...

Well this should be every Nigerian's goal, to be where ever they want with or without the government while staying clean. At least, you did and if you can any other person should be able to.

ednut1:
She is a political appointee in kogi, her husband is also contesting under APC. What is she supposed to do All these stupid fans sha.

The fact that there is mob mentality against people that have opposing political view is really annoying. This is the reason why the system we practice is called democracy, one man one vote. People should learn to live and let others live. Mercy Johnson has the freedom to support whichever candidate she wants.

Some of these idiots criticizing her, wait make them give them papa just councillorship first, na them go craze pass.

int0x80:
Dude, it's not that hard. If other people are doing it, why can't he do it. It only takes some level of self discipline and dedication.

It just requires discipline. Nothing is impossible.

Cutehector:
otipoju, its not everyone that can grab IT easily. Some, it can take years before they even understand Jack. My advise is, learn what you love to do and can understand easily so you can be a pro.

Almost anyone who can operate a phone can learn some IT and make money from there. IT is one of the shortest routes to making it out there. Again with IT, it is possible to do remote jobs unlike some other work that might require the worker's physical presence. People need to understand that some areas of ICT are easier to understand than others. For example, there are data analysts who aren't programmers but they make their own bucks too using tools like PowerBI and excel; although their growth may be limited. And there are UI/UX designers who make some tidy sums.

zionstaar75:
so what is your business with other people's stupidity abeg?so supporting someone who's tribe calls Nigeria a zoo is what?both sides are actually stupid but the guys with the highest number will still win no matter how hard u cry oga

This is the undiluted truth. No matter how strongly anyone feels about any aspirant, democracy is a game of number. If you like call the presidential aspirants whatever name you like, whether it is 'blu bala blu', 'agbado cassava', 'Atiku' or 'Peter Obi', it does not matter as long as any of them is declared as winner of the election through election by the majority that is the end. Nigerian youths should stop being foolish by calling these guys names; they are made already and an electoral loss to any one of them will not change that fact. My own is that whoever wins, I will remain prosperous.

Brendaniel:
OBJ did to some extent...

To what extent did OBJ curb the excesses of the governors? Under OBJ, Ibori looted Delta state without looking back; Igbinedion dealt with Edo mercilessly; a sitting governor was kidnapped by a set of touts in Anambra; INEC machines were found in Adedibu's house and baba said Adedibu should be left alone because he was elderly and then Ghana must go filled with cash were always finding their ways to the national assembly; some northern governors like Yerima started implementing sharia law. I can go on and on.
